I am experiencing the same thing with my sister, Jose. She is deeply distressed and clearly fighting. Thank you for the link.
Love to you both
Julia xThank you very much to both of us. Doctors are not being too useful to traet this but I am going to check out this ammonia levels. Thank you
hugs
JoseHi Jose, As Marion said have your sister’s ammonia levels checked. My husband went through similar situations of anxiety as your sister and it was due to high ammonia levels. There are ways to keep the levels in check and therefore help with the anxiety. Hope you and your sister get some relief from the anxiety. Hugs. Nancy
Jose…some of these symptoms can be reduced with medications. Please, check with your sister’s treating physician.
My heart is with you.
Hugs,
MarionThank you very much for your answer. I found this link. What do you think?

We are checking encephalopathy as well.
Jose…you might want to call the physician and ask to have your sister’s ammonia levels checked. (Hepatic encephalopathy?)
Hugs are coming your way,
MarionGosh, Jose, I would just be guessing but it sure sounds like agitation/anxiety. Does she complain of pain? I would put a call in to her ONC as this is not normal. Is she on any Meds at all, perhaps one is not reacting right with her. I hate to say this but it sounds as if she may be fighting (wrestling) with something. Certainly does sound like she is afraid to sleep as well. I would get the ONC in immediately. SHe is unfortunately using up what little strength she has. No reason today to be in pain or anxious.
Dear all,
My sister is showing a very strange behaviour. Apart from talking nonsense, she is extremely anxious, unable to stick to any option, sit in any place, choose the same bed, the same room, the same company. She wants to change every minute, if she is drinking a glass of water she does not want water, she sits and stand up, she wants to phone someone but immediately get bored and switch to something else and want to call someone else, etc. In one occasion my elder sister counted 53 trips to toilet during the night. 53. What’s going on? Of course she suffering a deep anguish and nothing is working but there is something else here. As a result of this enormous anxiety she can’t sleep. She fears of dying during her sleeping and the lack of sleeping is worsening everything. Is this depression? Is this anxiety? Is this something else? Has anyone suffered something similar?
Hugs
Jose
